 * I have a test WordPress installation running at [wordpress test theme](http://www.onboardcouriers.eu/verhoijsen/).
   In the background images are supposed to move around as soon as you move your
   mouse. These images are rotating using and external jvscript. In IE7 you see 
   where the images are located and they do move when you move your mouse, but the
   actual images don’t show. In FF 3 Beta 5 they don’t show up at all. Any idea 
   why the images don’t show at all or why IE7 doesn’t load them properly?

 * Well, I have managed to make the javascript display in my theme. I had to put
   the include javascript in the footer. Like that the body has been formed before
   the javascript is called. Now IE7 and FF2 both display and float the images. 
   I will change the image links a little later. And I forgot to put the floating
   images folder in the root. Silly me! Of course they wouldn’t show up like that.
   
   Now I only need to make the browser vertical and horizontal bar not appear when
   images are partly inside the browser screen and partly outside of them. When 
   I added `body{overflow:hidden;}` I couldn’t scroll down anymore, even when there
   was still text. So I need something else to fix that. When you click [here](http://www.onboardcouriers.eu/verhoijsen/)
   and move your mouse pointer around you will understand what I mean Any ideas?

 * Well I managed to make the images pass behind the main content by adding some
   css to the wrap divider: `#wrap {
    width:820px; /*500px*/ margin-left:200px; /*
   added*/ padding:0; z-index:1001; /*added*/ visibility:visible; /*added*/ position:
   absolute; /*added*/
 * }`
 * The images only float on the home page now and not on the others. Why that is
   I haven’t figured out. Neither how to make the scroll bars stop from popping 
   up when the images are about to exiti the browser screen 🙁

 * Well to position the content in a better and more flexible way I have added a
   supercontainer div id=”giant” and added c.q. edited (to) the style.css: `#giant{/*
   added for positioning*/
    width:60%; margin:auto; }
 * #wrap {
    width:820px; /*500px*/ /*margin-left:200px; added*/ padding:0; z-index:
   1001; /*added*/ visibility:visible; /*added*/ position:absolute; /*added*/
 * }`
 * The floating images are still displayed on the homepage in Firefox 2, but no 
   longer in IE7. Weird!!
    The scroll bar issue and the fact that the floating images
   are only displayed at the home page still remain a real pain in the rear….

 * Well I fixed all the issues. I added the absolute path to the images in the external
   javascript. So now the images are displayed on all pages. The external javascript
   works as well. I initially forgot to add a closing tag </ script>…
    And the bars
   are behaving as they should too!!
